Answer 2

The simplest form of 7/8 + (-2/3) over 5/6 is
`(1)/(4)`

Solution:

Given, expression is 7/8 + (- 2/3) over 5/6

We have to find the value of the above given expression in simplest form.

Now, take the given expression.

⇒ 7/8 + (- 2/3) over 5/6

The above expression can be expanded as follows:

`=((7)/(8)+(-2)/(3))/((5)/(6))`

`=\left((7)/(8)+(-2)/(3)\right) * (6)/(5)`

`\begin{array}{l}{=(21-16)/(24) * (6)/(5)} \\\\ {=(5)/(24) * (6)/(5)=(6)/(24)=(1)/(4)}\end{array}`

Hence the value of given expression in simplest form is
`(1)/(4)`
